Fancy Italian food at the mall of America
The managers, servers, and cook staff Tucci Benucch are willing and able to help patrons determine which menu items can be made vegan. There are at least four pasta dishes that can be made vegan (like the angel-hair pomodoro), several salads (like the Tuscan salad, with no Gorgonzola), and the french bread, which is from New French Bakery. Make sure you tell them that you're vegan, though, because they like to "finish" many of their dishes by sauteing them in butter.

We have not been there, but we plan on trying the place soon.
Since most restaurant pasta includes non-vegan eggs, we contacted them and got this reply:
The majority of our pastas are egg less. These include fettuccine, spaghetti, angel hair, rigatoni and linguine.
We have two sauces that are vegan. Our No-fat Marinara and Pomodoro Sauces. We also have a variety of vegetables you could have tossed with the pasta. Our pizzas and salads are also vegan if ordered with no cheese and meatless. You would have to request the salads to be tossed in our Mustard Vinaigrette or Balsamic.
Thank You and we look forward to your business.

I just grabbed a side salad from their take out window today, and the server was great about explaining what had dairy in it and getting me bread without cheese, etc. However, I did notice after I ordered that they serve veal here, and I know that many people boycott restaurants that serve veal, so I wanted to mention it.
